IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
▲WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when
using your refrigerator, follow these basic precautions:
• Read all instructions before using the refrigerator.
•Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems
of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are
still dangerous ... even if they will “just sit in the
garage a few days.”
If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, do
it safely. Please read the enclosed safety booklet
from the Association of Home Appliance Manufac­
turers. Help prevent accidents.
• Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl
inside the refrigerator.
• Never clean refrigerator parts with fiammable fluids.
The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
• FOR YOUR SAFETY •
DO NOT STORE OR USE GASOLINE OR OTHER
FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN THE
VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER APPLIANCE.
THE FUMES CAN CREATE A FIRE HAZARD OR
EXPLOSION.
